HistoryGeneral InformationSan Diego City College, San Diego Mesa Collegeand San Diego Miramar College are public, two-yearcommunity colleges administered by the San DiegoCommunity College District. Also under the auspicesof this district are the Continuing Education divisionwith six major centers throughout San Diego, andthe Educational Cultural Complex which offers bothcollege and continuing education courses. Theseeducational programs carry out the charge made bythe voters of San Diego in 1972, that the San DiegoCommunity College District provide education for allhigh school graduates and adults 18 years of age andolder in the District. This charge includes providingadult basic education through sophomore-levelcollege degree programs, with both academic andvocational curricula.Community college education in San Diego can betraced to 1914 when the Board of Education of theSan Diego City Schools authorized post-secondaryclasses for the youth of San Diego. Classes openedthat Fall at San Diego High School with four facultymembers and 35 students.This was the beginning of City College which hasnow passed its 100th year. For twenty-five years theJunior College program was located at San DiegoState University. In 1938, the San Diego VocationalJunior College was established to offer trainingin technical-vocational skills to post-high schoolstudents. The following year the San Diego EveningJunior College was set up to provide college classesin the evening for adults unable to attend dayclasses.In 1964, San Diego Mesa College was opened to1,800 students. Five years later, in 1969, San DiegoMiramar College opened on 140 acres in what wasthen undeveloped land north of the Miramar NavalAir Station, now known as Mira Mesa. Unlike Cityand Mesa colleges which offered a range of generaleducation classes, San Diego Miramar Collegebegan by concentrating on law enforcement andfire science training. It has since broadened itscurriculum to include the general education collegecourses needed by students in the rapidly growingnorthern area of the city.12San Diego Miramar College 2018–2019In November 1972, the voters approved separatingthe San Diego Community College District from theSan Diego Unified School District. The first electionof community college district trustees was held inNovember 1973. Nineteen seventy-six brought theopening of a unique district campus, the EducationalCultural Complex, dedicated to offering bothcollege and continuing education classes to themulticultural population surrounding its Ocean ViewBoulevard site. In 1979–80 the administration of theEvening College program was merged with thoseof the day college programs at San Diego City, SanDiego Mesa and San Diego Miramar Colleges.With both college and continuing educationprograms, the San Diego district is the second largestcommunity college district in California and offers achoice of educational programs unparalleled in theregion.Statement ofPhilosophyThe general education program at the collegesin the San Diego Community College District isdesigned to broaden students' knowledge and theirunderstanding of methods of gaining knowledgein a variety of disciplines and to develop students'abilities in critical thinking, in oral and writtencommunication, and in mathematics.The awarding of an Associate Degree symbolizes anattempt on the part of the college to lead studentsthrough patterns of learning experiences designedto develop an awareness of other cultures and times;to achieve insights gained through experience inthinking about ethical problems; and to develop thecapacity for self-understanding. In addition to theseaccomplishments, students should possess sufficientdepth in some field of knowledge to contribute tolifetime interest.
